    Start with one pound, then add 1999 more. Presto! You've got a short ton. Easy, right?

    Seriously, scrapping is real work, not a get-rich-quick scheme. The people who try to make it a get-rich-quick scheme are the ones who end up in jail. It's 99% hard work and 1% luck. Some days are home runs and some days are strike outs.

    What's a "reasonable amount of time"? That's up to you.



    What you should look for is anything that will make you money. Collect everything, sort it all out, sell it/take it to the yard, and then decide what is worth your time and what is not.


    Read through this forum, it will be worth your time.
